Development of automated software and algorithms to allow analysis of three-dimensional images of the heart in much the same way an experienced human operator would. Application of artificial intelligence techniques to the measurement of parameters critical to understanding the state and behavior of the human heart.
Developed accurate automated techniques to quantify myocardial perfusion and ischemia from nuclrear cardiology SPECT scans. This software performs in some cases more accurately than experienced human observers.
Current investigations include:
Development of automated computer algorithms for myocardial perfusion quantification and multimodality image registration.
